I've tried with a couple and don't see either of those options, whereas I can for accounts on other instances.

The List-only option will only exclude them from your main "Home" feed.

The only way to hide them from your live feed is to mute the account, but that would mute them completely in all feeds.

That's why I don't follow people on my instance, because I can see their posts in my live feed.

It sounds like adding them to a list is an option, but if I set that to 'list only', will that also exclude their posts from my instance's live feed?

Yeah, you have to follow an account to see an option for getting notifications about it.

If you're following them their posts will also appear in your main Home feed and Live feeds. Which feeds are you wanting to exclude them from?

As Sven says, you can also set them to only appear in "Lists", which are like custom themed timelines. More info about the Lists option at https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-the-lists-feature-on-mastodon (Lists are handy if you are following too many accounts in your main feed).

Is there a way to follow them but then only see their posts in one of the 'live feeds' or 'home' feed?

Do the buttons not show up or what are you seeing?
